What Causes Stomachache, Constipation With Cramping With A Discharge During A Pregnancy?
I m very early in pregnancy. Last Monday I had a very bad stomachache and used the bathroom. It is now a week later and I haven t been able to go again a at all. I m at the point of cramping from constipation. Tonight I ve been trying to go but I ve had this yellow/white discharge coming from my butt.. Freaked me out so I reached down to feel what it was and came backup with the same gooey stuff..

Thank you for the question. I would be happy to help.
What you are describing is mucous from the large intestine. This is what it produces and it is all that is making its way out because you are severely constipated. Here is what you need to do:
1. You need to stop your prenatal vitamins - the iron is making things worse
2. You can take folic acid tablets only for now
3. You need to be on a stool softener - Colace 100mg twice daily
4. You should consider a small dose of something like Milk of Magnesia at bedtine
5. You NEED to discuss this with your OB Provider and have them validate the plan above
I hope that this answers your questions!
